<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1529515, member: 9474"]About a month ago I started searching on ebay for cheap Dinolite's. Unfortunately, they just don't exsist. Last year at the Pittsburgh ANA I bought a cheap knock off for about $140. It never worked with my computer and the company's tech people here in the US and Germany couldn't figure it out either so I sold it. Well, getting back to my ebay search, I came across these really cheap digital microscopes - from China. They ranged in price from $20-40, and shipping was usually proportionate. The scope I chose had 20-800X magnification with 8 LED lights. Shipping for me was $20, so $40 total. It was worth the trial. So I got it yesterday and just took my first two pics of some variety coins I have. The first is a Kennedy 1974D DDO and the second is a proof 1951 Franklin half DDR. I didn't do anything special with lighting, but plan on setting something up in the future. I just wanted to let you know that there are really cheap options out there that take great pics. </p><p>[ATTACH]201384.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]201385.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
